    Hi all,

    I have been doing all the things suggested from you guys and from watching The George Show, but
    it seems that my views are not growing.

    I try to make my thumbnails colorful to get attention and I try to make my video titles catchy.
    Do I have to many videos showing under my playlist titles?
    Do I need a better trailer? I just re-did it.

    Maybe my tags are not good?

    I don't know what else to do.
    If you can help it would be great.

    Here is my channel: www.youtube.com/c/prettykoolcatplays

    I would make your thumbnails more mature and easier to read.

    Pretty good channel! However, some of the game recordings look like there are a lot of frame drops. Your content is good, but I do recommend looking at some tutorials to make OBS (I'm assuming that is the software you're using to capture games) run in a way that best suits your computer. Also, what editing software do you use?

    Keep up the good work though!

    Thank you CaretakerGamer. Ever since I downloaded the OBS update I have been having problems. I have been watching tutorials but I just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I use Filmora to edit.

    First let me say I am very impressed with the work and creativity you have put into your channel. I do have some observations.

    1) As CaretakerGamer pointed out, you really need to fix the dropped frames and lag in the gameplay footage.

    2) I would recommend trying to clean up your commentary audio. I know that OBS will now allow you to record your audio seperate from the game audio. If you're not doing this I would strongly recommend it. This let's you clean up your commentary after recording in something like Audacity without affecting the game's audio.

    3) Where are you promoting your videos? I see you have Twitter and Facebook. Do you belong to any gaming groups (on FB or G+) or websites (Player.me, Raptr, Anook)? Also do you upload to Steam?

    4) It might also be partially do to the titles you are playing. I'm not suggesting you play different titles just for views. Just saying you might have to work harder to find the views on those titles.

    Sir Jaxxy, Thank you for you for your comment. I have been trying everything to stop the dropped frames.
    I spent yesterday cleaning out my computer and when I play the game it's fine but the recording still skips.

    I even watched several videos about how to set up OBS. I don't know what to do. It didn't always do this.

    I'm not sure how to record my audio seperate from the video.

    I have joined several gaming forums as well as have twitter, FB, Instagram, G+, and Pinterest to promote.

    I really think that once I can fix this skipping problem I would do so much better.
    I hope anyway.

    If you want, PM me your OBS settings and I'll see if I notice anything. It looks like you either have your bitrate set to high or you're using the wrong cpu preset for your system.

    You defiantly have a good niche going on, (Rated G gaming) make sure you are milking that and using tags like "games for kids, best games for kids, free games for kids, G rated games" and so on. Research current and popular games in your said genre and age group and do reviews on them and introductory tutorials. You can find family friendly games on gamejolt that are free.
